China Concerned about Seizure of Oil Tankers by Indonesia
News - World: China says it seeks information on 25 of its nationals who were among 61 crew members aboard two oil tankers seized by Indonesia over the weekend.
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said in Beijing on Wednesday, “Our embassy has expressed concern to Indonesia.”
Beijing, the diplomat added, seeks formal verification on the situation of the Chinese seamen “as soon as possible.”
He called on Indonesia to conduct an investigation “fairly and in accordance with the law.”
Indonesian authorities said Sunday one Iranian and one Panamanian tanker had been seized for what the government said was "illegal" transfer of oil in Indonesia’s waters.
